FirstBarkSage has been training with Maria since puppy preschool. I’m amazed by the progress she has made in group classes, private lessons, and day training. I’m so proud of Sage’s behavior and skills! Both Maria and Megan are incredibly knowledge!

Do you have to be an adult to bring your dog to the dog gym?
We would require a parent or guardian to be with you and your dog during the gym rental, yes.

Megan is a fantastic trainer ! Bodie has come a long way in just a few weeks
My dog and I completed "family dog training" and "beyond the basics" with Maria. We learned so much in these classes. It was so nice to have a consistent trainer who got to know my dog's personality. 100% would recommend bring your dog to these classes- it is worth the investment.
I am on my third class with Maria and she is absolutely wonderful. Her ability to teach owners how to be successful with their pets in such a short amount of time is outstanding and the results of her 1:1 training is amazing. I look forward to more classes and training at Fetch the Leash!

I worked with Maria and she was amazing! My dog was uncomfortable around other dogs and Maria helped us both conquer our fears and made it possible for my dog to be happy around other dogs again. It’s been a lot of work but every minute is worth it to see my dog so happy! Maria really listened to me, heard my concerns and worked with me personally on how to approach the situation. She is smart, observant, knowledgeable and on top of it all she is extremely warm and welcoming. Working with her made a huge difference and my dog and I wouldn’t have been able to make the move we did without her. So HUGE thank you to Maria for everything!
